Police are probing the incident

A spokesman for the force said: “Police Scotland officers in Arbroath are currently investigating an incident of indecency that occurred about 1320 hours, Saturday 7th June 2014, in the ‘dammy area’ close to Spink Path, Arbroath.

“A 45-year-old woman who was walking her dog reported seeing a naked male acting suspiciously in the park close to the wooded area and in an area not far from a children’s play park. The man is believed to be aged in his early to mid 20s, about 5’ 7” tall, heavy build with a ‘pot belly’ and has brown or fair hair in a style which the witness described as a ‘mop head’. He is also believed to speak with a local Scottish accent.

“At the time of the incident the weather was sunny and warm and there would have been a large number of people attending or passing through the area.”

If anyone has any information about the incident, or can suggest a name for the described male, please contact Police on 101, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or speak to any officer.
